Well, we're now guaranteed to have several more months (or years) of the whole "Will Brett unretire?" talk. Appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman, former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre talked about his status according to ProFootballTalk.com

"I think when training camp gets close, something's bound to happen," Favre told Letterman.

Letterman then asked him what that means.

"I don't know," Favre said. "Did I just say that?"

    HE SAID HE WAS RETIRED "ON" THE SHOW
    wtf is this. He actually said he's retired! on the show. What him saying something like, I still love tha game suddenly means he's retired. This is getting stupid. Its like paparrazi taking a picture of a celebrity that just ate and saying she's pregnant.

    Lord knows it can never be a problem with Yahoo's data managers. I guess pushing the green button to complete their task is getting too difficult...Better up the voltage.

    Most overrated player in the history of sports, period. I can understand how a lot of people like him - I get it - that streak was inhuman, he loves the game, he plays like a kid, personality, etc etc. He absolutely had a phenominal early portion of his career, and all the records are impressive (mostly due to longevity and being able to remain on the field, but impressive nevertheless).
    HOWEVER, the past 10 years or so, he's been an average QB at best who has come up awfully short in big spots.
    The playoffs are where legends are might, right? Right. Let's take a look at his playoff performances the past 9 years, and I'd like for somebody out there to convince me that the numbers below are indicative of a player that receives more hype than any other figure outside of Muhammad Ali in the history of sports. Shall we...
    1998 - 0-1, 2 TDs, 2 INTs, 79.7 rating
    1999 - no playoffs
    2000 - no playoffs
    2001 - 1-1, 4 TDs, 7 INTs, 67.0 rating
    2002 - 0-1, 1 TD, 2 INTs, 54.4 rating
    2003 - 1-1, 3 TDs, 1 INT, 94.2 rating (This was actually a decent postseason for Favre... until he threw maybe the dumbest pass I've ever seen - the pick to Brian Dawkins)
    2004 - 0-1, 1 TD, 4 INTs, 55.4 rating
    2005 - no playoffs
    2006 - no playoffs
    2007 - 1-1, 5 TDs, 2 INTs, 99.0 rating (again, another decent postseason, only to be capped by a horrible game ending pick to Jason Webster, and after being given chance after chance to move the ball downfield when Tynes kept missing field goals)
    OK, let's hear it...

    Im a huge brett fan. I am greatly entertained. This is humorous. He is just screwing with everyone. I highly doubt he will return unless Aaron Rodgers get hurt.

    Brett Favre's shenanigans are entirely unfair to Aaron Rodgers. I'm sure there is some television network out there dying to hire another marginally intelligent ex-football player to cover SOMETHING in football. Heck, let him replace Troy Aikman or something, couldn't be any worse.

    ENOUGH ALREADY!!! Does this guy care at all about his team, or just his own legacy? How is his team supposed to plan for the draft, and for camp, when's constantly back and forth like this.
    RETIRE ALREADY - LAST YEAR WAS A FLUKE - YOU'RE AN OVERRATED INTERCEPTION MACHINE - DOES US ALL A FAVOR AND MOVE ON
